Melee Weapons May be Coming to Hawken

Ever since the invention of the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, it's been a provable fact that robots punching each other is basically the coolest thing. It seems that Adhesive Games, the folks behind Hawken, have gotten hip to this idea and are looking to implement melee combat into their free-to-play mech game, as PC Gamer reports.

"I'd like to see specialized mech classes or balanced weapons that incorporate melee, but at the cost of ranged attacks or something along those lines," Adhesive Games co-founder Chris Lalli told PC Gamer.

I remember rolling around the battlegrounds of the early 360 game Chromehounds, filled to the brim with nothing but melee weapons, and just slaughtering people. If I can get a similar experience from Hawken, I'm not sure if I'll play anything else.
